Every month more than 100,000 people visit Econsultancy using a mobile device, but we're yet to launch a responsive site. This isn't because we don't want to make the user experience better for mobile and tablet users. It's simply that we've had to prioritise other things, and tech resources are limited.
It's pretty straightforward to make a business case for mobile-friendly design if you have a transactional but non-responsive website: simply look at your conversion rates by device. They'll probably be fairly woeful for tablets, and even worse for mobiles (certainly if ours are anything to go by). Add a dollop of simple maths and you'll have some idea of the opportunity cost of not making the customer experience better for mobile and tablet users.
I first made the case for mobile about three years ago, when about 5% of people used a smartphone to access our website. That wasn't enough to make it a high priority, but by the end of this year around 20% of visitors will be browsing via a mobile device. That changes things considerably, and more so as our visitor numbers continue to grow.
In our case I reckon we're missing out on six figures worth of annual revenue, and as such we're busy working away behind the scenes on a number of initiatives, including a fully responsive website.
I have yet to hear about a decline in conversion rates following the roll-out of a responsive site. In fact, I only ever hear amazing things.
So, if you're making a business case and need some examples then here are a bunch of companies that have benefited from significant uplift in the key metrics following the implementation of responsive design.
Lovehoney [+60% to 100% CR]
Bench [+100% CR]
State Farm [+56% CR]
Baines & Ernst [+51% CR]
Horze [+19% CR]
FreshSparks [+13% CR]
CareerBuilder [+20% email CTR]
Harviestoun [+28% mobile traffic]
Need more proof? If we step away from Twitter there's plenty of articles singing the praises of responsive design.
Let's start with Brad Frost:
First of all, some numbers are coming back on responsive retail sites and they're looking pretty damn good. 42.4% conversion rate increases. Over 400% (!) conversion rate increases for Android.
And then there's beauty brand Nars [+54% mobile CR]:
In addition to the 54 percent increase in smartphones, check-out conversions from a tablet increased 24 percent as a result of the site launch. The company decided to roll out a responsive site because of limited teams and structure that could not back up three different sites.
Finally, there are another five brands that we've previously looked at, which have all achieved remarkable increases in the key metrics after going down the responsive route.
If you have some before and after data following a responsive-focused revamp then I'd love to hear from you, either by email (chris@), or via the comments area below. Otherwise good luck if you're on the verge of making a business case, or are about to launch your new site.

Hi Chris
We created a new responsive web site for an educational publisher, and when we compared the first month of the responsive site to the previous month we saw
mobile visits were up 16%
mobile orders were up 25%
mobile revenue was up 73%
You can see the details at http://www.edwardrobertson.co.uk/blog/is-responsive-web-design-worth-it
Admittedly I've only looked at the Bench site so far - but I wouldn't classify that as a responsive site. It only covers two view ports; desktop and mobile. I would call it a mobile optimised site, not responsive. It lacks any of the fluid elements which are fundamental in responsive design.
On a 7 inch tablet the site is cropped and the roll-overs don't work as intended.
'...a site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images and CSS3 media queries...'
Can I ask why "Responsive design" is now used seemingly universally to describe "Tablet and mobile optimisation"? There is absolutely no evidence that the example retailers above would not have got the same great results or even better ones by developing separate sites optimised for each platform, and this is what I see consistently when articles are published eulogising the wonder of RWD.
These examples may well have actually deployed RWD but I've also seen articles which mistakenly label adaptive design approaches as "Responsive" design because the term has become so prevalent and all-encompassing.
I'm not making a claim for a preference for any approach, and we are still in fact making our business case for Mobile optimisation (having just delivered an RWD site with only Desktop and Tablet viewports), but we should remind ourselves that it's the EXPERIENCE that is key, NOT the technology approach that is used.
@David - It seems to me that in many cases 'responsive' is added as an afterthought, with existing sites adapted as opposed to new ones being built from scratch. Perhaps it isn't so easy to get right, if that's the approach. Certainly there is much to discuss around the implementation of responsive design.
Ultimately, if it doesn't work on a seven inch tablet then it is broken, or at least not fully responsive. Nonetheless, by going some way towards that point Bench has increased its conversion rate. A no brainer, therefore, to go the whole hog.
@Gareth - I know where you're coming from. I searched for the term 'responsive' and 'conversion' to find the examples listed above, and this is the language that these people are using. Whether each specific example is strictly 'responsive' is up for debate.
I do think we should be careful about muddling up 'responsive' vs 'adaptive' vs 'mobile optimised'. They are not synonyms. That said, the central theme of the my article is that if you create a better experience for mobile and tablet users then you will reap the rewards. How you go about that is neither here nor there (I should explore the pros and cons of responsive vs adaptive in a future article).
No doubt something better than nothing when it comes to a mobile presence. But, I'd be interested to know how conversion compares to tailor made mobile sites. With many orgs already having mobile sites and websites developed independently - whilst responsive can be a long term cost reduction can a 'jack of all trades' design deliver the best for the customer/conversion rates? One for the business case :)
Interesting post - question for those who have built a responsive site or for those in the examples within the post did they go responsive after building a mobile optimized site - did they/you see any conversion growth in this scenario? Pretty obvious that if you went responsive with no mobile optimized capability you are bound to see impressive conversion stats...but what about those who have already invested in mobile sites should they also move to a responsive approach?
Hey Chris nice post! This just comes to show how business owners should go mobile (not to mention on the internet) when marketing their business.
The business owners that aren't even considering internet marketing will surely end-up in shambles with how things are going.
I agree with Gareth - for me responsive vs. separate mobile/tablet site is still a debate worth having, particularly for ecomm merchants. If none of the examples given had any kind of mobile optimised site previously, then the uplifts aren't surprising at all. The way this is written suggests a Responsive approach is the current holy grail, which simply isn't the case for a big percentage of retailers when you consider spend and reward. It depends heavily on their platform, their existing site(s) and retail/multi channel strategy, to name a just a few considerations.
I'd be interested in what time period these ROI increases are measured over.
I think it's important to note that going responsive is about more than just increasing the conversion rate on mobile devices, it's also about providing a seamless transition between online and offline retailing experiences (allowing customers to check products and then go and try on in the store, receive notifications about when their orders are ready to collect, allow the sale assistant to show them products via a tablet etc.)
Also some of the above sites - while responsive - are horribly slow to load, even over 3G which is a real killer to the number of pages the average customer will bother to look at on a visit.
We built our e-commerce platform from the ground up with the above considerations in mind, responsive is only one piece of the puzzle and it can't be considered in isolation. Currently running (www.gant.co.uk and www.gant.se )
A responsive design website for sure will increase the conversion rate on mobile side. What about the desktop users?
As for me I think that here the success is not in the responsive design but in the content its self. For many a responsive design will be equal to lack of content. But at the same time , this lack of content motivate content managers to create more simple and clear content, that are finally appreciated by the users. Thanks for the great article !
Great run through, we have just launched a clients new ecommerce site with a responsive layout that has increased mobile traffic conversion rates drastically, but also the desktop site has also seen huge hikes in conversion rates.
Hi Chris,
Relay good post, its showing the importance to convert normal website to responsive site. Website owners and designers should read the post, thanks for sharing this.
Responsive design is so important, because many times the information and tools users need when on mobile are different than the ones they need on desktop websites. Responsive websites better server their audience, and are easier to maintain than a separate mobile website.
We provide our best services to grow your business at high peak in the growing industries. Hence,we welcomed you to visit or can contact us ,because we never compromise with the quality and time boundation.
This site is so good. we provide our best service for business.
Responsive website design is a very important for a website, because many users are accessing the site with different devices. With responsive web design you can give better web experience to your users.
Our mobile usage has significantly increased recently yet we have an unresponsive website. The conversion rate via mobile is at rock bottom. We are now in the process of developing a responsive website so it is exciting times.
Have a look at our website and if you want to get in touch we would be glad to hear from a design company. www.therughouse.com We are upgrading to a responsive site however there are a large number of other design changes we need to make.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Syrian government still has effective control of its chemical weapons and should be able to transfer them to international inspectors for destruction despite the ongoing civil war, the top U.S. military officer said on Wednesday.
Army General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged the conflict in Syria posed "a very challenging environment" for eliminating the weapons under a framework agreement reached by the United States and Russia.
"Indicators are at this point, though, that the regime does have control of its stockpile," Dempsey told a Pentagon news conference. "So long as they agree to the framework, which causes them to be responsible for the security, the movement, the protection of the ... inspectors, then I think ... it is feasible."
Dempsey said he was still concerned about the security of the stockpile, but added: "We've got to make sure we keep our eye on all these things."
"The framework calls for it to be controlled, destroyed or moved," he said. "And I think in some combination ... it is feasible. But those details will have to be worked out" by the Organization for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons, which has the lead on the issue.
Dempsey and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who also attended the news conference, both said they were comfortable with the diplomatic process to try to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons.
President Barack Obama had been poised to order a strike against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, charging that Syrian forces had launched a wide-scale attack using sarin gas in a Damascus neighborhood, killing some 1,400 people, including hundreds of children.
Syria, at the urging of Russia, agreed in a last-minute diplomatic opening to join the convention banning chemical weapons and to hand over its arms to international inspectors.
"In terms of ... direct threats to U.S. interests, I think ... that the elimination of the Assad regime's chemical capability is right at the top," Dempsey said. "So if this process bears fruit and achieves its stated purpose, we will be in a better position."
Hagel said the diplomatic track was a "responsible, wise approach," but he said the threat of U.S. force against Syria had helped lead to diplomacy and should remain in place until an agreement is finalized.

H&A at Crikey! It's Vintage At The Seaside, Exmouth Pavilion, Devon
Alice Roberton dips her toes into the seaside vintage scene
Alice Roberton dips her toes into the seaside vintage scene
I headed to the coast, sunhat (optimistically) at the ready, for the first Crikey! It's Vintage to be held in the Devon seaside town of Exmouth. Whilst event organiser Shelley Barns and I contemplated a swim we discussed how Devon is emerging as a bit of a hot-spot for vintage. 'I have a very loyal following now for my vintage events and hope to add more to the calendar for 2013,' said Shelley.
The Josie-Mary stand added a lovely splash of colour with its seaside-themed games and puzzles and little crochet animals. Owner Joe Currey also runs Make Do & Mend and was holding crochet and knitting workshops throughout the day.
I met Katy Gooding who owns What Katy Did in nearby Budleigh Salterton. Katy turned her life-long passion for scouring flea markets, junk shops, antiques fairs and rummage sales into a business last year by opening her first shop.
Two people enjoying the day were friends Clare Dumbleton-Taylor and Willow Hilson. Willow (left), who runs vintage and retro clothing shop Relevance by Lady Lace in Exeter, told me how she recently supplied a satchel to H&A for a shoot, so keep an eye out for that in our September issue!
Andrew Mottram travelled down from Bristol to attend the fair with his new business Malby Maps. Inspired by the work of his ancestor, 19th century globe maker Thomas Malby, Andrew is giving vintage maps a new lease of life. He has produced a great range of framed maps, upcycled cards, wrapping paper, gifts and these regionally themed doorstops and paperweights.
There were some great little treasures at this fair and I resisted the temptation to buy this sage bread bin; it's just like the one my Mum had in her kitchen when I was growing up. After delicious fish and chips on the beach I headed home hoping to take H&A to the seaside again soon.
H&A had planned to attend the annual Retro Festival in August but sadly this event is no longer going ahead.
Here is a message from organiser Sadie Boon 'It is with deep sadness that this year's Retro Festival will not be going ahead due to the venue at White Waltham Airfields cancelling because of extreme adverse weather conditions.'
However, we're looking forward to several fairs in September, so do please come along and say hello!
Saturday 8th September, 10-4pm
Buttercross Vintage Market, The Parish Rooms, Somerton, Somerset
Saturday 22nd September, 10-3pm

The retail landscape of Northern Virginia's Tysons Corner area is slated for a major overhaul as county planners work to transform the region from a textbook example of sprawl into a greener, more livable outpost in the suburbs of the nation's capital.
Today, Santa Monica-Calif.-based Macerich Co.'s 2.2-million-square-foot Tysons Corner Center serves as the popular retail anchor for an area known among Washingtonians for choice shopping. Tysons, sitting 12 miles west of Washington, D.C., is notorious for its network of traffic-clogged arteries and vast swaths of asphalt. It is not conceived as a place to live. Its existence is more ephemeral, revolving around commuters and shoppers. Case in point: Its 167,000 parking spaces exceed its current total number of workers and residents combined.
The area draws 105,000 workers to its shops and offices daily, making it the 12th-largest employment center in the United States. Yet just 17,000 residents call it home—an imbalance that the new redevelopment plan aims to correct.
Since 2005, a 36-member Tysons Land Use Task Force, created by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, has been developing an ambitious plan that looks as far ahead as 2050 in its vision of a transformed Tysons. An earlier plan developed in the 1990s laid the groundwork for the current plan but was left largely unrealized. This time around, however, the promise of an extension of Washington's Metrorail system into Tysons has lent new momentum to the idea and provided a centerpiece around which to design the redevelopment.
Last September, the Board of Supervisors accepted the Task Force's recommendations. Planners are now weaving the recommendations into a broader Fairfax County development plan and considering how best to adapt regulations for higher-density development in Tysons.
The new Tysons Corner will depend on mixed-use development concentrated around four new Metro stations. The plan calls for 95 percent of new development to be located within walking distance of public transit. Tysons will feature taller buildings and less parking, more of which will be moved underground. It will offer housing for up to 100,000 residents, some designated as affordable.
Walking and bike paths and a variety of public-transit options will ease travel throughout Tysons Corner in an attempt to wean area workers and commuters from depending on cars. They'll also enjoy more parks and arts and cultural venues—as well as shopping choices closer to home.
"The vision for Tysons is to change the nature of retail," says Sterling Wheeler, chief of policy and plan development for Fairfax County's Department of Planning and Zoning. Retail space in the region will stay roughly equivalent. But mixed-use retail on ground floors of multi-use buildings will replace the area's current mix of car dealerships and 1960s-era shopping centers.
Meanwhile, Tysons Corner Center will remain a retail anchor. But it too will change with its surroundings. Macerich has been closely involved with the county's planning process, though its own efforts began independently—previous owner Wilmorite Properties began a rezoning effort in 2004, before its purchase by Macerich.
Over the next 10 to 15 years, Macerich expects to add 3.5 million square feet of office, hotel, retail and residential space on the edges of Tysons Corner Center, in four phases. The development will also feature trails, public spaces, recreational facilities and expanded access to bike paths, buses, shuttles and transit. RTKL Associates of Dallas is the architect.
The pace of development hinges on market conditions. "Right now, we're certainly finding those to be a little challenging," Harrison says. But he expects Metro's arrival in the area will keep future interest in Tysons strong.
"Tysons fits the bill for quality," says Lance Marine, retail specialist at CB Richard Ellis, who has consulted with several area property owners on the redevelopment. Tysons and its high national profile continue to draw developers, he says, even as they drop other projects in the Washington area.
But Marine foresees challenges as planners and owners adapt to Tysons' new retail scene, with different approaches required along the area's two main thoroughfares, Routes 7 and 123. The two or three property owners who dominate Route 123 "will be able to implement and execute on a much larger scale," he says.
Meanwhile, retail property along Route 7 is divided among a larger number of individual owners. Marine is unsure how they'll "create a true synergy" as they vie for the same retailers. The overhaul will demand a long-term vision for retail created along with experienced developers and retailers, he says.
County planning so far suggests a successful future for Tysons retailers, Marine says. "The property owners and developers have been very involved, and the county has been very receptive to input—which is not always the case," he says.

Media hits this week from Professors Lefstin and Zitrin, and other scholarly activities from Joan Williams, Robin Feldman and Dean Wu.
Jeffrey Lefstin
Professor Jeffrey Lefstin has written extensively about the Supreme Court's ruling in Myriad. Though that case is over, the debate on patents in biotechnology is just heating up. "The Supreme Court's effort to stop specific companies from monopolizing laws of nature seems at odds with the concept of a patent," Lefstin said. "A patent, by definition, always creates a monopoly. It's been perceived as part of the bargain of the patent system."
Richard Zitrin
An expert on legal ethics, Professor Richard Zitrin is quoted extensively in this Law.com article about automatic disbarment for particular offenses. "I don't agree, in general, with per se disbarment rules," says Richard Zitrin. "They afford no discretion. Rules that don't allow discretion - particularly judicial discretion - tend to be not good rules."
Patent troll expert Robin Feldman will testify before the Assembly Select Committee on High Technology at an informational hearing convened by Assemblymember Paul Fong on Patent Assertion Entities Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View.
Professor Joan C. Williams pens an Op/Ed for the blog of the Harvard Business Review. Her work is also cited by the Daily Beast and Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News.
Finally, a new blog has been launched by three law deans – one of their first entries was a re-post of Chancellor & Dean Frank H. Wu's previous blogpost on the Huffington Post. The new law dean's blog caught the attention of Law.com's Karen Sloane, who quoted Dean Wu in her reporting about the launch.

Offerings today come from Fox's Biscuits, McVitie's and a certain celebrity chef who has his own line of chocolate wafer bars. Once again your thoughts and requests are most welcome so please share them.
McVitie's Gold - Kcal 115 Fat 5.5g Fat(sats) 4.7g Carbs 11.5g
'Crunchy biscuit bar with a caramel flavour coating'
If the rules were strict on this site these McVitie's Gold bars wouldn't actually be worthy of a ChocolateMission review, as they don't actually contain any cocoa content. Not to be perturbed by this, I was still happy letting them have their 5 minutes in the spotlight - especially when I found them on a 'better than half price' 85p deal in my local Tesco :D In terms of packaging and presentation I have always liked the look of Gold bars. The wrappers are very typical McVitie's, but they are nicely in keeping with the premise of the product, whilst the bars are also suitably decorated with the Gold logo placed on top. For those with no experience of these McVitie's Gold, I can quickly inform you they serve up one hell of a sugar rush. Taste wise the caramel flavour exterior sets a milky taste, though it is soon dominated by the sugar content which is laden in both the coating and inner biscuit. As the years pass I seem to appreciate Gold bars less and less. Like Caramac, the occasional bar is fine but I don't they aren't a product I would suggest you buy regularly.

Fox's Echo Mint - Kcal 126 Fat 6.6g Fat(sats) 4.0g Carbs 12.1g
'Mint chocolate with a crunchy biscuit base'
After reviewing the original milk chocolate variant in my first B&Bs chocolate biscuit reviews there was little chance I was going to get away without reviewing the mint variant. After a little bit of searching of my local supermarkets I was finally able to find a pack of all places in my local Waitrose (I thought they would have been way to high brow for Echos!), where £1 of my money bought me an 8 bar multipack. Packaging wise they looked almost identical to the original variant apart from the implementation of a green secondary colour as opposed to the normal blue. The bars themselves similarly looked little different aside from the slight tinge of green in the upper filling portion of the product. Since I had some of the original Echo bars knocking around I decided to do a side-by-side comparison, and there was a clear winner. The supposed 'mint flavoured' centre of these bars were poor, and came across as mild toothpaste as opposed to the fresh, real tasting peppermint I was hoping for. The Mint bars retained many of the good things about the originals, but the actual mint element was frankly pretty bad! My conclusion is that Fox's Echo Mint are hard to find for a reason ... because no one wants to buy them. If you want my advice I say just stick with the originals if Echo bars are your thing.

Ainsley Harriott Caramel Delight Bars - Kcal 122 Fat 6.0g Fat(sats) 4.6g Carbs 15.3g
'Crisp wafer with chocolate flavour filling, caramel topping and milk chocolate chips, coated in Belgian milk chocolate'
After reviewing the McVitie's Taxi last month, it was suggested that I give Ainsley's Caramel Delight bars a try. After a quick search in Waitrose I found a seven bar multipack for the reasonable price of 99p. Now, If there was ever an innovator of celeb endorsed foods I think Mr Ainsley Harriott would be in with a great shout of being one of the first to market. Despite seeing this trend grow across several of different food categories in the last few years (David Beckham even has a range of ready meals you know!!), Mr Harritott remains one of the only celebs to have his own brand of chocolate bar offerings, and from what I can remember they have been around for quite some time. As you will see from his product description, Ainsley thinks a lot of his Caramel Delight bars :D - having now tasted them for myself I would do little to disagree with the man! The Belgian chocolate coating had a nice flavour depth, and the taste was noticeably smoother in it's sweet cocoa flavour delivery compared to the standard of chocolate you get from bars like Taxis and Drifters etc. Sat below, the wafer offered a similar experience to a Kit Kat, with the malty wheat flavours positively enhancing the experience. Unfortunately I can't be quite so positive about the caramel layer, which I felt was pretty lacklustre in terms of it's impact on the taste. Although the caramel didn't quite deliver in line with the other constituents, I still on the whole enjoyed these bars, and I would probably buy them again in the future. If you are looking for a wafer based biscuit bar that has superior chocolate to the average market offering this is one well worth a look at.

Outta curiousity RD, if Booth and Ballard are such horrible contracts, who exactly is Gillis supposed to pawn them off on? If it is so obvious that they are terribly overpaid for what they bring, don't you think 29 other GM's in the league know this too? I think that would make them pretty hard to move.....at this point you are better off sticking with them and hoping they turn dogshit into gold bricks, and if they don't you trade them for whatever you can get on draft day.RoyalDude wrote:Hey Rats, AV is at fault sure, but dude, seriously, Gillis really needs to do his fucking part as well. It surprises me that you don't see any fault in his work to date.rats19 wrote: when that shit happens with the same team it is coaching in my opinion...alot of other opinions also..cept dude ...he say you do what you can with what ya get given & that is a point too, but not the big one in this case... the coaching , especially the special teams coaching..sucks..
PS: heading to arizona in a couple hours...cant fight back so be nice... look for RATS19 at the nucks/yotes game..its on my jersey I will turn my back to the camera...
BTW, enjoy the desert ya snowbird.
Moving contracts like theirs is going to be very difficult for the next year or two anyhow as teams adjust their rosters to get under the reduced salary cap. It may be that some of their struggles are due to the coaching and system that Vigneault runs in Vancouver, and in that case a fresh start somewhere else might work for them and they produce for a different coach. Who knows. But in this market that is not a risk many GM's are going to want to take when it comes to a couple of guys making top 6 and top 3 cash but producing like bottom 6 and bottom pairing players.
So Gillis brought on some big contracts that are flopping right now. I'm sure he recognizes this......but what do you want him to do about it? Waive them? If they got scooped for nothing you'd be all over his ass for losing assets and getting zero return.
The market isn't returning anything worthwhile on Luongo, and nobody wants to see Gillis just give him away for a rental or some lowball return. $4M contracts are going to be tough to move when the player isn't putting up numbers. So as far as roster moves go he is in something of a jam.
The only move Gillis can really make right now is to fire AV and his staff and bring on someone like Ruff.....and to be honest the time is right for this. There are still 23 games left to play, the Canucks probably only need to win 13 or 14 of them in order to get into the playoffs, and the talent and experience is there in the room to pull that off even with the bumpy adjustment period that a coaching change brings. I don't think Gillis could find a better opportunity than right now when a coach of Ruff's pedigree is sitting on the sidelines and has already said he wants to coach again.
Some might see that as a futile gesture or move or whatever, some think that the coaching staff is fine and not to blame, but when you get your ass handed to you and you don't push back, and then come back the next year and do the exact same thing.....there is a problem. Esepcially when you can go back 12+ months to the last game the Canucks played with any real form of intensity. It's either coaching or team, and if it's team it means massive changes are required, and that means blow up the core. If it is coaching, then this is the best time to do that. LA changed coaches last year.....went from bottom feeder to Cup winner.

Lavenda droplet bolero
Added Nov 6, 2012
London, United K...
This was my first attempt at using one of the re-written patterns from Susan Crawford's re-issued "A Stitch in Time" Vol 2 (rather than following an original single-size vintage pattern), but in fact I ended up making a lot of changes anyway.
The original 1950s pattern constituted a jumper and bolero twinset, with the jumper having short sleeves and a patterned back and the bolero on top with tight-fitting long sleeves and a plain back. I didn't have enough wool to do both, and what I really needed was a bolero to fit on top of my dresses as a more manageable substitute for swathing myself in shawls when the sun went down – it's hard to do the washing-up with a pashmina wrapped round you. So I simply worked the decorative back of the jumper instead, since the two pieces of the pattern are exactly the same size. The 'V's of the pattern don't show up terribly well on the front pieces, and in any case I should have got extremely bored if I had worked the entirely large square back in stocking-stitch!
I also 'graded' between the two smallest sizes of the pattern to widen the shoulders by reducing the number of decreases at the armholes, since the pattern measurements given seemed to specify very short shoulder seams on the smallest size. In fact I think I could probably have worked this straight as written – the final result is now slightly off-the-shoulder on me.
The reworking had added an extra inch to the sleeve length for no very clear reason, so here I reverted to the original pattern (also included in the book) which despite being one size larger was actually shorter in the sleeve. This time it was definitely the right decision – I can wear the sleeves turned back (as in the original pattern photo and seen here) to clear my watch-strap, or rolled down to their maximum length to cover the wrist-bone. The sleeves on the modern model's version are clearly too long for her when worn unrolled – I'm not sure why this change to the pattern got made.
I was afraid the sleeves would be too tight-fitting, since they're designed to fit over bare arms, but in fact they work very well. The 'droplet' pattern is somewhat stretchy, and it doesn't show a 'bag' at the elbows as stocking-stitch sleeves do – very useful when you're propped up reading!
I also ended up making a much longer ribbing band to go all round the edges of the bolero than that specified in either the new or the old pattern. I spent a great deal of time tacking and stretching the band to try to get it to fit as instructed, but found that it caused the whole garment to bulge out and look nothing like the original pattern photo, so simply knitted some more ribbing onto the end and increased the total length of the band to 56". I still think it's a bit too stretched at the back of the neck and makes me look slightly hunchbacked where the fabric bulges as a result….(frankly, it could have been less tight at the bottom as well).
On the whole I'm very pleased with the result; this is one of my most successful knitting projects. And it certainly made a change having more than enough wool to complete a garment all in one colour, without constantly worrying about running out… in fact I actually re-knitted the left front piece with fresh wool when I decided that I preferred the look of the fabric 'unblocked' to 'blocked'!
Material Notes
Three large 100g balls of khaki-coloured Robin 4-ply acrylic, picked up very cheaply when the local department store decided to stop stocking 4-ply in favour of chunkier wools – I suspect these failed to sell because of the drab colour. Size 10 and 12 knitting needles.

I think it turned out very pretty, and quite like the slight tightening round the bottom hem caused by the ribbing band. And I agree with you about pashminas and washing up!

I think the gathering around the bottom edge is intentional to the design (whereas the gathering around the top edges wasn't!), but I think I prefer my boleros straight-backed all the same!

More Dirth
Dirth digs a bad mood. He thrives off them. He breathes them in.
He spends the majority of his time visiting places where he's most likely to find them. Places like the parking authority office, music venues with cancelled headliners, courtrooms, and traffic jams.
The more irritated people get, the more energetic Dirth feels.
He never directly contributes to the storm clouds over the heads of those he watches. It's more satisfying to stumble upon the brooding beings and lap up their negative energy without expending effort.
Lucky for him, there's an endless supply of grumpiness in this world. He'll never go hungry.

The house known as Black Isle Studios is not the house formerly known as Black Isle Studios. The iconic Interplay studio responsible for Fallout, Icewind Dale and Planscape: Torment disbanded in 2003 but suddenly re-emerged at the end of August promising to "make the world's best RPGs." The new Black Isle broke its silence on Thursday, updating its homepage asking for funding from the audience for a codenamed game, Project V13, but the update raises more questions about the studio than it answers.
"Project V13 is the first planned Black Isle Studios release in years, a post-apocalyptic strategy RPG," reads the update, "Your character will be a hardy adventurer from a variety of backgrounds; one of the last remaining humans, a new breed mutant, or a technologically advanced cyborg." The post goes on to describe how you're found a colony in the ruins of the world and fill it with goods and citizens found while questing about the world.
If that sounds similar to a handful of other post-apocalyptic role-playing games, that's because it is. Project V13 is, based on that description, not too dissimilar from the original Black Isle Studios' Fallout series or Black Isle-founder Brian Fargo's Wasteland. With Fargo's InXile Entertainment making Wasteland 2 and ZeniMax Bethesda holding the Fallout license, it's no wonder Black Isle is using a different name while also returning to its roots.
The question remains, though: Just who is it returning to their roots here? In August, Brian Fargo said there wasn't enough information about the new Black Isle for him to comment. Obsidian Entertainment, headed by Chris Avellone and staffed by many of the former creators at the old Black Isle Studios is hard at work on its own games like Project Eternity. "[The new Black Isle] doesn't involve Obsidian at all," said Avellone in August, "No idea what it's about. I wasn't aware of anything beyond the name was left at Interplay."
"We're an experienced team of game developers," reads Black Isle's vague message, "We need to raise money to put together a prototype. We need more developers and staff. This is a big world we're developing."
The site is asking users to pledge $10 or $20 to the game, but neither amount gives access to the non-existent game. All that money gives access to is different sections of a Black Isle forum that won't open until sometime in January.
We've emailed Interplay for clarification on who, if anyone, is actually staffing this new studio.

In more than a dozen Connecticut towns, guns outnumber people and the number of legally registered guns is on the rise.
John Mullins is a gun owner and shot his first gun at 5 years old. He started with BB guns and owned a shotgun by age 14.
There are three people that live in Mullins' house, but there are also four guns.
"I'm looking to buy another one for the upcoming hunting season," Mullins said.
Residents like Mullins are contributing to the increase of legally registered guns. In 2011, the town population was 7,300 while the number of guns was more than 9,400.
First Selectwoman Joyce Okonuk has paid attention to the recent rise.
"It's a steady rise in the past two years," Okonuk said. "So it's gotten even more extreme at this point."
Okonuk said in recent months, especially after the Newtown shooting, she saw a dramatic increase in registration applications.
"It has probably tripled, many quadrupled since that time period," Okonuk said.
The towns with guns outnumbering residents also includes Chaplin, Colebrook, Eastford, Goshen, Hampton, Harwinton, Lyme, Norfolk, Roxbury, Salem, Union and Voluntown.
Okonuk said in a town like Lebanon, most people collect weapons and a lot of people are gun collectors.
Scott Lawlor from the Criminal Division of the State's Office of Policy and Management said he expects to see the numbers rise as more law abiding gun owners take measures to stay within the law, especially since the state's gun law passed.
"We're definitely going to see a lot more people who themselves get a license or credential," Lawlor said. "We'll see a lot more firearms enter our database.
Although the small town numbers are large, officials said it is not necessarily an indication of increased violence.
"I don't have any concerns about that in our community," Okonuk said. "It wouldn't even enter my mind to worry about more guns, more crime. It's just not typical here."
The disparity is in Connecticut's bigger cities where there are a large amount of unregistered guns. Hartford has a population of 124,000, yet 16,000 guns are registered. New Haven's population is 129,000, while 22,000 guns are registered.
Police confirmed that many crimes are committed with unregistered guns, but the state hopes the new gun law fixed that loophole by tracking ammunition.
"In order to buy ammunition in the future, you'll need to have a credential issued by state police," Lawlor said. "In the past, anybody - gang members, convicted felons - could walk into a Walmart and buy all the ammunition they wanted with no questions asked. That has now changed in Connecticut."
The number of guns versus residents in Lebanon still troubles Okonuk. She said that the town is more meticulous in how they approve the gun applications.
The town will take a closer look at the background checks of applicants and have them interview with the resident state trooper Okonuk said.

Candi Coxx was a thick mature lady we were lucky enough to have on MILF Hunter this week. Levi had tried to hookup with her before, but they were interrupted when her kids' sitter called her with an emergency that required her attention. Candi left Levi with blue balls and all. But this time around it was different because Levi had Pauly to back him up and handle any problems that might come up. Levi called up Candi, and she quickly came over. When she arrived, this sexy MILF was eager to get down to business.
She showed off her amazing body and ripe big tits. She had on fishnet stocking, and those quickly came off too. After giving Levi a sensual lap dance, Candi pulled his cock out and started sucking away on it. Levi pounded that pussy like a champ all over the couch. He stroked that pussy deep and hard and made Candi cum like crazy. When it was finally his turn, Levi pulled out and busted his load all over Candi's pretty face.

Justin Bieber battled through breathing difficulties to complete his headline-hitting residency at London's O2 Arena on Friday night (08Mar13), just hours after a nasty bust-up with a photographer.
The pop superstar fainted backstage during his show at the venue on Thursday (07Mar13), and was subsequently hospitalized, but doctors deemed him well enough to perform again on Friday.
He hit headlines again just hours before his final concert when he became involved in a furious altercation with a snapper waiting outside his hotel, but Justin Bieber shrugged off the incident and took to the stage as planned to round out his residency in the U.K. capital.
Justin Bieber took to his Twitter.com page after the gig to reveal he has "enjoyed" his time in London, despite his headline-grabbing antics.
In a series of posts, he writes, "Still a little short of breathe (sic) tonight but was an incredible show. London fans go hard! 4 sold out O2 shows in a row!! Blessed.
"Too many blessings to allow the stress in. The press made things look nuts but really I have enjoyed London. The fans are incredible... so while I have seen some crazy stuff it is all smiles. I'm gonna get some rest and keep doing what I love. Entertain all of u (sic). Thanks."
It has been a tumultuous trip for Justin Bieber, as he endured a dispute with nightclub bouncers on his birthday last week (01Mar13) and came under fire from fans for delaying the start of his first night at the O2 Arena on Monday (04Mar13).
However, Justin Bieber's preacher friend Judah Smith reveals the star is seeking solace in religion.
He tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "He feels under pressure. Every eyeball is on your life. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. This is the first challenge he's had in life, but it won't be the last. I give Justin encouragement. Take time to say to God, 'I'm over my head here. I need your help'. He has coping methods like turning and talking to God and practising the ancient scriptures. We exchange scriptures every day. Justin asks, 'God if you're there, I need help. I don't know what decision to make'."

UH Alumni Association now welcomes all UH alumni as basic membersUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Stacia Garlach, (808) 956-4551
Office of Alumni Relations
Office of Alumni Relations
Posted: Sep 30, 2010
HONOLULU -- The University of Hawai'i Alumni Association (UHAA) is adding to its existing paid annual and lifetime membership levels a free, basic membership level that will automatically include all alumni of any of the 10 University of Hawai'i System campuses. The three levels of membership in the UH Alumni Association now include:

"We rely on and sincerely appreciate the support of our paid members."
Paid members were the first to be notified of the change in August. UHAA's "All in the 'Ohana" campaign about the all-inclusive membership structure will continue throughout the fall.
"Above all, we hope the new 'Lokahi' membership level will help alumni feel more connected and encourage them to keep in touch with each other and with UH," said Bullard. "Our Online 'Ohana functions as the hub for this communication."
UHAA's Online 'Ohana at UHalumni.org provides all members a UH-specific social networking platform that integrates with other social networking sites, like Facebook. It includes an online alumni directory, a career section where alumni can post and look for jobs, and UHAA and chapter event listings, news and photos. It also features fully customizable user profiles with features like RSS feeds, photo management, friend lists, groups and more.
To encourage alumni to make the most of their membership, UHAA is giving away an iPad, five $200 Costco gift cards and a Warrior Football helmet to seven lucky alumni. Those who log into their existing accounts or set up new accounts by Nov. 15, 2010, are automatically registered for the drawing. Visit UHalumni.org for details.
"We realize the profound importance of keeping alumni engaged with the UH System," said Inouye. "As an organization of alumni, by alumni, for alumni, we take this responsibility very seriously and hope this change will help to increase alumni involvement on many levels."

KEARNS, Utah (AP) — Police say a 17-year-old boy will face felony charges for saying on Twitter that he was going to blow up Kearns High School.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal says a caller who was apparently from Washington, D.C. reported the Twitter post about 9 a.m. Thursday. Hoyal says school police checking it out found a photo of explosives attached, and put the school on lockdown.
Officials say the student wasn't at school that day, but they found him a short time later.
The teen told police the post was just a joke.
Hoyal says it didn't appear the student was planning to carry out the threat, but adds that police take such statements seriously.

Latitude and longitude impact climate. Students will learn this first hand by researching the climate for a specific 10° x 10° quadrant of the country. Students will download data sets on both temperature and precipitation for their quadrant and... (View More) will determine averages for each of those factors. Using that information, students will construct a climatogram (a climate diagram). After analyzing the climatogram, students will prepare a poster and give an oral presentation. The influence on their quadrant's climate of additional factors such as elevation, topography and solar intensity will also be considered. Note: This lesson involves several activities. Following the recommended sequence and timetable, the lesson could take six to ten 50-minute class periods. It is possible to reduce the time commitment by modifying the activities.

Sustainable Revolving Loan Funds
Ever heard "a penny saved is a penny earned" or "it takes money to make money?"
Well, Saint John's University is taking these wise adages and making novel financial mechanisms out of them.
SJU has set aside a sum of money that will be used to grant zero interest loans to projects with cost savings. The cost savings will pay back the loan until 120% of the loan is paid off. As the fund grows, more and larger projects can be initiated. There are a multitude of ways we can decrease consumption of energy and products. The results are decreased operating costs and a more sustainable campus. Since part of sustainability is equity, anyone can submit a proposal and it will be reviewed. Projects will be audited and results will be posted to prove the viability and legitimacy of the fund. A committee of faculty, staff, administration, and students will govern the fund. If you would like to learn more about the funds read the charter pages in the Related Links area on this page.

Actress Emma Roberts' comments are coming back to haunt her following her arrest in Canada earlier this month (07Jul13) - she recently told a magazine reporter she'd hate to be considered a bad girl.
The Scream 4 star, who is Julia Roberts' niece, was taken into police custody for allegedly attacking her actor boyfriend Evan Peters in a hotel in Montreal.
Her representative has since insisted Roberts and Peters are trying to resolve their problems privately following the "unfortunate incident" which they are brushing off as a "misunderstanding".
The incident comes as the new issue of Nylon magazine, which features an expose on the actress, hits retailers.
In the publication, she insists she likes her reputation as a good girl, telling interviewer Ashley Baker, "I can't say I'm never going to mess up, but if I do, I'll definitely be very sorry."

After all the rumours, speculation, leaks and jockeying, Samsung has finally launched the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. And we were on hand to give it a proper fiddle with at the Korean manufacturer's launch event during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The new tablet is still dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Tab, but with its screen size in inches, 10.1, plastered onto the end. It sports a 1GHz dual-core processor, that eponymous (WXGA TFT LCD) touchscreen, with a 1280x800 resolution, and admirably runs the latest version of Android - Honeycomb (3.0) putting it firmly up against Motorola's forthcoming Xoom as an advocate of the new operating system. The new tablet also adopts a completely new design over the former Galaxy Tab.
Going for a thin and light approach, the new device weighs an astonishing 599g - feeling much like a happy medium between the iPad and a Kindle. You could imagine holding it for long periods while reading. It's also just 10.9mm thick.
Another iPad-beating feature is the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, with auto focus functionality and an intuitive recording and stills capture user interface. There's also a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling, which is more than reasonable for that purpose.
Connectivity includes HSPA+ 21Mbps, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n. And the innards are bolstered with low power DDR2 memory and a long-life 6860mAh battery.
As is seemingly mandatory on Android devices these days, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has Flash 10.1 support and dual surround-sound speakers - although we're not quite sure how that works, as you'd have to hold it pretty close to a reflective surface to get any kind of surround effect. The audio, from our hands-on with the device, is definitely meatier than the most obvious rival, but further investigation is needed.
Formats supported include MPEG4, H263, and H264 video, and the device will support 1080p Full HD playback at 30fps and 1080p Full HD recording at 24fps. Obviously, as the screen is only 1280 x 800, that won't be applicable when running any footage back through the Tab 10.1's screen, but it is capable of outputting to a HD TV.
Other points of note include the mainstays of any modern portable device, a gyroscope, accelerometer, digital compass and proximity sensors.
We're not sure how much it'll set you back, and the only word on availability is "very soon" - that's directly from the horse's mouth. However, we do know that you'll be able to get the new Tab on Vodafone in the UK.

Food wrap dispenser
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
I'm tired of fumbling with plastic wrap and foil in their factory packaging - it takes a lot of effort to cut food wrapping neatly, especially the plastic wrap. Is there a superior dispenser that you could recommend? Something industrial maybe?0
We use a wrapmaster model 1500 . This works rather well for plastic wrap.
I used something like this in a food service job. The sliding cutter made it a lot easier to cut the wrap without it folding over and sticking to itself.
If you want a high volume solution, you can't beat a knife and a nylon chopping board. Place the roll alongside the board. Then pull wrap across the board, cut with sharp knife, place the object on the plastic. Wrap and repeat. This leaves a loose end for the next pull. The cut doesn't have to be perfect as the wrap will tear across minor gaps. A nylon board has the right stickiness for plastic wrap.
We used this in a cheese shop, fast, reliable and painless. May not be suitable for one off wraps in the home kitchen or where a bowl covering etc is needed, but I still do this if I need to wrap a number of items.
The plastic wrap we buy has a what's called a slide or glide cutter included with the plastic wrap. it fits over the sharp "teeth" that would normally cut the wrap.
It's by far, the best tool for the job. If you do a search on "plastic wrap glide cutter" or "slide cutter" you should find some examples, but if you buy a brand of wrap that includes one, you can easily keep it and use it for other brands - as long as the size is the same.
I'm not sure if it would work for aluminum foil, but I might be give it a try. The width of the foil we use doesn't exactly match the width of the plastic wrap, so I haven't tried it yet.
Assuming the blade is on the lid, turn the box upside down, so that you're pulling down with the heel of your hand instead of up with your fingers. I haven't studied the mechanics of why it works so much better, it just does.
I own a number of restaurants and this is a constant problem. We finally discovered the Kenkut 3 from Tablecraft for about $45 and it's really solved this problem. link text.
Costco's consumer plastic wrap packaging has a cutter in a simple track. One lays the plastic over the track and the cutter just slides over it and cuts it: no pulling or sawing.
Buy the wrap in the cardboard box, they are usually designed so you can cut/rip it on the edge of the box. For aluminium foil i can't think of any easier way even if i were given all the money and engineering time in the world, just pull out and rip.
For plastic foil the stickyness can be a problem, if you store the wrap in the fridge it will become less as sticky but then you loose one nice property of the foil, it's harder to wrap it around plates etc.
We use the Wrapmaster for foil and plastic. Best thing since sliced bread! Every time I use it I get a big grin on my face because it makes it so EASY! You load in your roll of foil or plastic wrap, pull out the desired amount and push the lid down - no sliding a cutter, no uneven tearing - just a beautifully simple cut across. Next to my dutch oven, it's my favorite kitchen tool!
Try the Sulco Brand Food Wrap dispensers. They are great! Mount to a drawer, inside the pantry door or on the underside of the upper cabinets. Works better than anything and the refill rolls are available at Walmart. I found that the Sulco brands of refills are much stronger and have more cling than anything else as well. It holds foil too.
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.Tell us what you love.
